strange one.

I've been flying around Italy however I'm missing buildings at many airfields and airports including the Vatican that I'm sure is in the default FS9 Scenery. The only thing I know that can cause this is an exclude file but damned if I can find it. Is there any utility that can identify exclude files?

Also is there away of getting FSUIPC to log AI traffic errors I read somewhere that you an identify AI aircraft that cause traffic files not to work or even crash FS9 during loading.

I have had this also. You will see that all autogen is removed in a band around the world.

I think the scenery that causes this is in Sardinia more or less on the same latitude. It was a while ago, so I can not remember exactly. It may even be further away.

In your scenery menu, disable the sceneries in groups until the problem goes away. Once you have found the group enable them until it reappears. Look for the exclude.

It would be an old scenery, FS2002 era.

The traffic file crashes are caused by texture files. I have had trouble with Flight 5 deck AI aircraft with Heathrow. Flying away from Heathrow towards the Channel. As far as I know it is caused by different types of textures, DXT1, DXT3, etc, loading in large numbers.

Ah as I suspected.I'm going to check my recent AI additions. Also I've read that the IFSD LIRF airport Scenery has bad excludes in it that causes the vanished Scenery objects so I'm going check that too. Thanks.

Found the culprit. It was a MAIW exclude file for LIRE that excluded all the airports around Rome and the the city centre including the Vatican City. Whoops!!

The LIRF and LIRA scenery is stunning!

Now to track down the corrupt Traffic file!

Glad to hear it.

I have found some of the FAIB 747 paints and others to be in DXT1 format.

I found some repaints in 32-bit now converted to DXT3 and so far no crashes.
